10-25-07 -- WOW!
On Thursdays, we read from Hope for Today.
Today's reading began with one word, "Wow."
It was about realizing that something as simple as a beautiful day is not of our doing.
We have no control over how stunning the waves look as we gaze out at the Mediterranean.
We didn't cause the waves, we can't control the waves and we can't cure the waves.
I had nothing to do with the breathtaking view I got after we landed in a helicopter on Mt. Fraser in New Zealand last week at 8 am.
Nothing at all. I had no control at all. In fact, I have very little control.
Some days, that feels liberating. Other days, terrifying. Last week, on top of Mt. Fraser, it felt great.
